Patient Group

St Martins Practice is committed to involving you - our patients - in planning and improving our services. Our group is organised so that you can be involved as much or as little as you like. For example you may prefer to do everything by email from your own home. Alternatively you may like to attend our quarterly meetings.

When you sign up please specify if you prefer e-mail communication or post.  We have quarterly face to face meetings which you may choose to attend if you wish - the agenda is circulated in advance.

2018/19 Patient Survey

Page updated: 22.3.19

The PRG meetings in Dec 2018 and March 2019 were lead by Dr Jessica Drinkwater, who - after discussion & agreement at the previous PRG meeting - is leading the practice (staff and PRG) in a research project looking at how the PRG can improve practice services by carrying out a patient survey.

Here is more information about the project if you would like to find out more. Info about research project

What has happened so far?

• The patient group agreed what they would like included in the patient survey (December 2018 Minutes from the meeting)
• The practice staff agreed what they would like included in the patient survey (17 January 2019 notes here)
• At a joint meeting of both patient group and staff, we heard each others viewpoints, and together we finalised the joint survey (31 January 2019 Minutes)
• Patient group members had training about how to facilitate the survey. Briefing here
• The survey has now taken place: members of the patient group asked / helped patients to complete the survey forms, and the practice sent a text message to all patients requesting they complete an electronic version (February / March 2019) 

What will happen next?

• At the next PRG meeting 26th March 2019 we will hear the results of the survey. Agenda here
